Coefficient of friction

Coming north it was obvious that some drivers had no idea that winter means a different coefficient of friction for their tires and the road.

Just pulled this photo from the web as example.

It was snowing pretty well yesterday, but not all that difficult. Just don't make any sudden changes (throttle, brakes, steering) and plan ahead.

Probably saw a good half dozen cars where the drivers had found "unique and interesting" ways to park off road and/or in the woods.
